research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Cross-species sensitivity to a novel androgen receptor agonist of potential environmental concern, spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research Androgen receptor modulators: a review of recent patents and reports (2012-2018)
New androgen receptor modulators show promise for treating diseases like prostate cancer and muscle wasting.
research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 1: Embryology, evolution, structure, and function of sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Androgens and erythropoiesis. Induction of erythropoietin-hypersecretory state and effect of finasteride on erythropoietin secretion
Androgens increase EPO production, finasteride doesn't significantly impact it.

The treatment reduced hair growth and testosterone in women with excess hair and had some effects on stress responses.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Female Adult Acne
Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

research A case of severe hyperandrogenism, acanthosis nigricans and overt diabetes: the use of non-invasive methods for diagnosis, pathogenesis and management
Non-invasive imaging helped diagnose a woman's severe hormone imbalance and diabetes, and medication successfully treated her condition.
research A Study of the androgen receptor gene polymorphism and the level of expression of the androgen receptor in androgenetic alopecia among Egyptians
The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.
research Sexual function in women with androgen excess disorders: classic forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.
research Androgenetic alopecia and polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene (SNP rs6152) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer
